But CNN interlocutors stressed that their assessments do not mean the United States will begin to put pressure on Ukraine and force it to make territorial concessions.
The Biden administration doubts that Ukraine will be able to reclaim all the territories lost since February 24, even with the help of heavy weapons received from the West. This was reported by CNN.
White House officials spoke on condition of anonymity.
Biden’s advisers reportedly started an internal discussion about what exactly Ukraine might consider a victory, and that Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have allowed the irrevocable loss of territories.
But CNN interlocutors stressed that their assessments do not mean the United States will begin to put pressure on Ukraine and force it to make territorial concessions.
The White House did not consider the loss of Ukraine’s territories inevitable and admitted a more positive forecast: this year, Ukrainian forces will be able to launch a counter-offensive and win significant parts of the territory.
“Whether or not Ukraine can return them depends largely, otherwise, on the amount of our support,” he said, recalling that Kyiv is asking for 48 MLRS, but has so far received a promise from Pentagon for eight.
Recall that the United States continues to announce additional security assistance for Ukraine. Last week, the Biden administration announced an additional $ 450 million in military assistance to Ukraine, providing it with four more multiple rocket launchers and artillery ammunition for other systems.
